If we remember, Windows XP could only be used without activating a maximum period of 30 days , at which point it was impossible to continue using the system. In Windows Vista Microsoft introduced the option to continue using the system after those 3 days but with limited functionality.

Subsequently, in Windows 7 the thing hit a big change and after passing the trial period, from time to time a window appeared that reminded us that we had to activate the system along with a message in the taskbar. A similar behavior was Windows 8. With Windows 10 the test time is unlimited today and all we see is a message in the lower right indicating that to activate the system we must go to the configuration page.

Of course, there are certain limitations in terms of functionality. Luckily, Microsoft does not set any limits in terms of usage time, therefore, it is currently possible to use Windows 10 without activating unlimitedly.

System performance will not be affected and we can use it to work, surf the Internet, watch multimedia content or play without any problem.

In addition, we will continue to receive security patches and fixes. If we choose to use Windows 10 without activating, the first thing we are going to find is with a message that will continually remind us that we can activate the system from the configuration page. Of course, after a while we will get used to seeing that message and it will not be a major problem. However, despite being able to use the system at maximum performance, there are certain functions that we will not have access to simply because we have not activated the system.

Functions that above all affect the personalization of the system, so that, on the other hand, they are not important for its operation, such as:. If you enter the Insider program and we activate the possibility of receiving trial versions on our computer, our Windows 10 will automatically be activated.

It is assumed that all these restrictions will be eliminated, but the truth is that we will have versions of the system that are more unstable than any of the final versions.

In that case, it may always be a better option to use the generic keys to activate the system for free.

My employer needed to add all of its “stuff” and as it turns out it after all teh group policies were added, the network capability was gone.

Everything seems to be working now but Window swill not activate. They have tried over and over and are unable to obtain resolution. I now have the laptop and have tried myself. I have using the command prompt and also ran scanno and DISM to see if there was anything that needed to be repaired. The only solution my employer had was for me to reinstall the original Lenovo OS and then use a virtual desktop application to access everything I need.

Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn’t help. They did a clean installation of Enterprise on the network but they were never able to get it authorized.

Hi letti, If your licence is for Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise is now installed on that laptop, it is not going to activate as your Licence will not cover that.

In reply to DaveM’s post on August 31, They manually entered their own Enterprise key. Is there a conflict with the built in Pro key? Hi letti If they entered an Enterprise Product Key, that will expire because the Enterprise version is a volume licence and that licence must be re-armed on a regular basis from your company servers. The Enterprise version never activated to begin with. It was the IT folks that were trying. The laptop never left the building until they got tired of trying to figure it out.

Hi letti, due to what they have done, your only option is a clean install of Windows 10 Pro. Since they caused this, have your IT department wither Reset Windows or clean install the Pro version your system is licenced for. Sumit Independent Advisor Independent Advisor.
